Mark Buehrle throws a perfect game & I was there! And check out the plate umpire...

Great story.

I have watched the festivities over and over. It was a great game and a big chunk of history. The White Sox are by far my favorite AL team, and I'm really happy for Mark and for Eric Cooper for getting the call on the perfecto. It must be the Asian eclipse!

Whatever it was, I'm sure thrilled. What an experience!

Written and shared by a man who truly gets what the game is all about and loves it like regular people simply can't understand.

Good for you, man! Major piece of history.

I was originally supposed to go with a friend of mine who backed out at the last minute, so I took my 9-year-old niece, who's a Sox fan and plays girls' softball as well. She may not have fully understood the historical importance of what happened, but I think when talking to her after the game she began to realize at least a little how significant it was.

How much more nostalgic can it get than to see live a perfect game (not just a no-hitter) with a young child who herself is a baseball fan and White Sox fan?

Pretty cool to see a Missouri guy (Francis Howell North HS) get his second no-hitter.

That catch by Wise in center field was unreal. He almost dropped it as he came down off the wall.

I know. The ball was coming out of his mitt, so he used his left hand to grab the ball, then hit the ground and rolled and held on to it. Wow!
